How I do my food shopping!

This week’s How-To is inspired by one of your requests! I love answering your queries so do keep them coming in.

This week I’m telling you all about how I tackle our food shopping. From how I meal plan and create our shopping lists, to where I go and how I keep track of what we have at home.

I also bring you along with me as I visit one of my favourite local greengrocers, The Greenhouse, who have a real focus on sustainability that I so appreciate! It’s such a fabulous store with refillable products, fresh seasonal produce and service with a smile.

As you all know by now, for me food is a huge passion. So I do like to ensure I’m shopping responsibly, seasonally and support local providers where I can. It’s so helpful to build a friendly rapport with your local stores, and such a pleasure to share recipe advice and more with the people who know their produce best!

I also make sure we’re not adding to the global food waste problem by sitting down every week to plan our whereabouts and making sure each meal is well thought out. Using my Shopping List & Meal Planner, I can keep an eye on what’s coming when, stay on top of spend and plan well ahead. It’s handily handbag-sized, so every time I take a trip to the shops I pop it into my bag and bring it along with me.

Batch cooking is a trick that I’ve always sworn by, so during this video, I’ll also show you how I whip up one of my favourite batch-cooked soups, my delicious Leek and Potato!

I hope you find it useful,

Love, Charlie x
